This is a light above the table in the salon, with a burned out bulb that needs to be replaced. As you can see, it rotates to direct the light in different directions. I have tried to unscrew the base without any luck - it will not move. I'm afraid I'll do damage to the unit if I try any force. Any suggestions on how to remove the offending bulb?

Might want to have a plastic putty knife or two to pry the sides down
 
It’s just pulls out. Careful with the spring loaded wires when you pull it. They can snap too fast and break off
 
The springs are probably located 90 degrees from the points where the light pivots.
At least that’s where all of mine are.
If so: That would be the best spot to pull from.

That’s how I remember them also,!where the light pivots, shift 90 degrees and that’s where the spring loaded supports are
 
With everyone's help, I just changed the offending bulb. I never would have used so much force to get the light out, and deal with the springs, if it were not for the info I received here. Thanks to all.

Its always a joke ...but it takes a team to change a light bulb no matter what the boss says :)
